eureka应对大并发_为什么拯救经济或应对大流行是一个错误的困境

eureka应对大并发

An article in Foreign Policy, “The great pause was an economic revolution” (summary), touches on an issue I’ve discussed recently: the false dichotomy between the need to restrict the spread of the pandemic and that of keeping the economy going.

外交政策中的一篇文章,“ 最大的停顿是一场经济革命 ”( 摘要 ),触及了我最近讨论的一个问题 :限制大流行蔓延的需要与保持经济持续发展之间的错误二分法。

We are talking about radically different questions. On the one hand, biology: the clinical effects a virus has on our body, how it spreads, the deaths it causes, or the capacity of technology to generate vaccines. On the other, the economy: an exclusively human construct that can be brought under control, stopped when necessary, or redefined based on new agreements or rules.

我们正在谈论根本不同的问题。 一方面,生物学:病毒对我们身体的临床影响传播方式死亡 它导致或技术产生疫苗的能力。 另一方面,经济:可以控制,在必要时停止或根据新协议或规则重新定义的纯人类构造。

Believing we cannot control the economy and that we are at its mercy is a problem that requires a remarkable dose of abstraction: just as we have been able to put it on hold, we can apply other measures that take into account everything from how to protect the most vulnerable to gaining time to develop vaccines or treatments that will eventually halt the spread of the virus.

认为我们无法控制经济并且我们只能靠自己摆布,这是一个需要大量抽象的问题:正如我们能够搁置它一样,我们可以采用其他措施,将所有方面的保护措施都考虑在内最容易获得时间来开发最终将阻止病毒传播的疫苗或治疗方法。

Until we are able to internalize this, we will remain in a trap that allows the more privileged members of society to isolate and protect themselves, while the rest are forced to expose themselves in order to make ends meet. Seen from any perspective, this makes no sense.

在我们能够将其内化之前,我们将陷入一个陷阱,使社会中特权更高的成员隔离并保护自己 ,而其他人则被迫公开自己以维持生计。 从任何角度看,这都是没有意义的。

Obviously, altering the economy requires broad consensus at all levels, although many would question whether the trust between nations exists to make this kind of global agreement possible. To date, we have been unable to learn from the experiences of other countries and we continue to try to find solutions individually, somehow believing it’s better to create 210 research teams and create 210 vaccines rather than working together to obtain the best one in the shortest possible time. This depressing reality suggests it probably is too late to save us as a species and that we’re too stupid to deserve to survive.

显然,改变经济需要在各个层面达成广泛共识,尽管许多人会质疑国家之间是否存在信任以使这种全球协议成为可能。 迄今为止,我们一直无法从其他国家的经验中吸取教训,我们继续尝试逐一寻找解决方案,以某种方式认为,最好是组建210个研究团队并创建210种疫苗,而不是共同努力以最短的时间获得最好的疫苗可能的时间。 这种令人沮丧的现实表明,将我们拯救为一个物种可能为时已晚,而我们太愚蠢以至于不值得生存。

Believing the deficit myth, that austerity is the only way to alleviate the effects of a necessary economic downturn is like cheating at solitaire. Economics is what it is: a man-made construct that we can modify, alter, redefine or redraw as we see fit. Until we fully understand this, we will continue to lack the tools to face this problem, or the next.

相信赤字神话 紧缩政策是减轻必要的经济衰退影响的唯一方法,就像在单人纸牌上作弊一样。 经济就是它:我们可以根据需要修改,更改,重新定义或重绘的人造结构。 在我们完全理解这一点之前,我们将继续缺乏解决这个问题的工具,或者下一个工具
